Mindful Littles has impacted me and my community by first off teaching young kinds how to be mindful and give back to our community. In addition, this has helped my community by giving back to the less fortunate and proving them with care packages like food, hygiene, and more.
Being a part of Mindful Littles I have most enjoyed the opportunity to work with others to help out the community. I really enjoy all the activities that we do especially making care packages for the less fortunate. It is fun to work and come together with others and know that we are helping out members in our community.
"I’ve spoken to groups before, but this felt different. The younger kids were actively listening, and engaging. I saw the joy in their eyes and how they admired the kids from Pine hollow. The longer we did it the more I felt comfortable, and it progressively influenced the kids around us as well. They slowly also became confident."
"By the end of the day, students were interacting with the elementary students and running the presentation without any help from me. The transformation in their confidence level was profound. Every student, both elementary and middle school students, appeared positively impacted from this day."
“Growing into a young adult and figuring out my own place and worth was a transformation full of stress, mistakes, and difficult decisions. Coming to Mindful Littles at the beginning of this process helped me develop and maintain a mental composure, kindness (to myself and others), and care that has made my transformation and journey one that I am genuinely happy with, and proud of.”
